'Mushroom Massacre' Cook Makes Statement that Hurts Her Case | Erin Patterson Update and Analysis

@@maxalberts2003 I go mushroom hunting. The FIRST thing you learn about is the Death Cap because it looks similar to common button mushrooms and are so deadly. However, you also learn the differences. From memory (I'm going back 30+ years), they have slightly yellow gills.

I hear the owners of the Asian stores in Waverly are not happy with her.

If those deadly mushrooms came from a shop months ago, then surely, other mislabelled deadly mushroom purchasers would have been affected. They could have killed other people across Melbourne. If that is the truth. The coroner's report will be interesting.

I buy a lot of dried Asian mushrooms and have never once fallen ill.

since when do asian food stores sell deadly mushrooms?

@@margaretjohnson6259 , they don't! If I was an owner of an Asian Grocery store in Mount Waverley, I'd be seeing red!

​@NascentCoomer the Victorian police have now arrested Erin Paterson and they are now searching her property so the cops ain't taking it lightly let's just say they obviously have strong suspicions about Erin Paterson no doubt soon we will know if she is going to be charged over the mushroom related deaths.

​@@helenweatherby1694she hasn't given an address or name of the store. Who is going to sue? The guests are dead.

My theory is she used the hydrator to dry the poisonous mushrooms and use them later when she needed to. That is why she disposed of it soon after to get rid of evidence that is what it was used for, but the cops found it anyway (fantastic) which no doubt they are testing it forensically . She didn't purchase mushrooms from the Asian store thats a bunch of bull and furthermore the comment her husband made about "poisoning them" he knows, he knows what she is capable of. Just my armchair opinion. This will soon unfold.

Exactly. We have super tight food regulations here. She’s trying to get away with it by blaming an independent Asian grocer as if they are not subject to the same standards somehow.

So Asian grocery shops are automatically 'seedy'?

Yes! I agree! Those were fake tears! It was pretty good performance. She has had much practice in crying, but she was NOT sorry about what happened.

Did you ever see the Alec Murdaugh interview in the car when he reported finding the bodies? Very similar grief performance, especially rubbing his eyes and then checking his hand as if to see if he's produced any tears. Erin does that several times.

Question? Where does one find or buy poisoning mushrooms? I know she said she bought mushy from an Asian market but that is most likely a lie. So where does one find poison mushrooms? In the forest with Hansel and Gretel?

@@Hummingbirds2023 In paddocks, on the lawn

@@Hummingbirds2023They grow in the wild in the area where Erin lives.

Great alliteration!!😊

Yes, but I do forage and also buy mushrooms. Sometimes it is a hassle to process the mushrooms and you want to make it easy for yourself. But in the other hand...it is quite rare to use both dried and fresh mushrooms at the same meal. Perhaps, if there was not enough the fresh ones 🤔

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not hard to imagine though if she didn’t have enough for the meal she was preparing, but NO Asian grocer sells poisonous mushrooms. Customs here are very very thorough and strict when it comes to letting in food items from other countries.

maybe it wasnt mushroom season

Some reporters have visited the Asian grocers in the area and they couldn't find any hand written labels either.

Just to play devil's advocate, if I were a store owner who stocked products with hand-written labels, and I heard about this case, I would immediately remove all such products from my store. Not saying that's what happened, it's just a logical possibility.

@@Yuum.yummms I wondered where you are based? I’m Asian and the dry mushroom products I can find in the asian grocers here in Melbourne all have printed labels on them. Maybe this lady went to an Asian grocery store that I have never been and they had packaging with handwritten labels. Would it good to know which store she went to so I can avoid going there.

@@hodgeelmwood8677​​⁠​⁠ umm….I thought the store would be the victim in this if the mushrooms did come from a store, unless the store also grows and sells poisonous mushrooms then they would have a good reason to remove their products from the shelves. Also, we haven’t had any other reported cases of people dying from eating mushrooms bought from the stores in Melbourne recently.

if erin found guilty, she is really a racist besides a cruel killer. malign an asian grocer for nothing. she is an expert mushroom picker and they went for mushroom picking during mushroom season, don't tell me she couldn't identify the world-deadliest mushroom even when its dried?

The "Asian store" that happened to have deadly mushrooms and she happened to exhaust their stock of said deadly mushrooms. That store.

OMG 😳 🍄

Bought not brought.

She's even wiping her eyes and checking for tears. Most grieving people wouldn't bother to do that. Very odd.

reminds me of the drunk guy who essentially ratted on himself to a police officer, because he couldn't help but subtly brag about his crime. He was hammered, walking down the street and just approached a cop and started talking. Google "Marek Hecko video". My favourite quote "You're gonna think it was meeeee, but its not gonna be meeeee, cos there's no proof", all in an over the top Slovakian accent, naturally.

Boo hoo, criminals are stupid and want leniency, who cares.

Good point

Saying nothing will not look good in front of the jury anyway, when u are guilty it is a problem u will have to deal with eventually.

She didn't succeed in killing him the first time, so she had to up the ante. He didn't even show up because he didn't trust her. It is so sad so many people had to die from her delusion, and she didn't even get the one she hated the most. She must really feel stupid right now. Maybe they will make her a cook in prison 😛

You two ought to get a room !

Few people are gullible enough to believe her cock-and-bull story. You can excuse away any one thing, but taken together the numerous inconsistencies and absurdities prove that this was premeditated murder.

Exactly 💯

I came here to write the same thing. Not remembering where someone bought something is not strange at all. I would not remember this from months earlier although I may remember a label that was on it just days later. Sje would also be quite traumatised from the events of the last few days so brain fog and confusion could be an issue.

I would remember exactly where I bought them , particularly from an Asian store. It’s not like there is an Asian grocery store in every suburb like coles and Woolies.

@@jacquelinehaddon999 depends wber you live, how many Asian stores there are and how long youhad them. I have a bag of dehydrated mushrooms from an Asian grocerin my pantry an have no idea where or when I bought it.

When Erin goes to prison she wont be allowed in the kitchen.

Exactly what I thought. Think her friend was trying to make her sound better...

I'm pretty sure Erin is guilty (and not especially smart about hiding it, either), but victims of mushroom poisoning often consider themselves experts, and have foraged mushrooms for years. Unfortunately death caps can be mistaken for edible mushrooms, especially when they're small, or when the color has faded due to rain. I used to forage mushroom and I was always a bit wary about picking Caesar's mushrooms (which are delicious when eaten raw) because they look a lot like death caps.

I agree. Death caps are easy to confuse with a variety of edible mushroooms to the untrained eye - but not for someone experienced, especially if they've foraged the same area for years. That's because you learn which areas are more likely to have death caps and, if you're not wanting to kill anyone, you avoid those areas. The part that screams premeditation to me, though, is the timing of this lunch and the dehydrator. It's winter in Australia, so the death caps wouldn't have been available to pick fresh. That means that they would have needed to be gathered and stored a significant time in advance. Perfect way to store them? Dehydrate them (which would also change the taste and make the guests less likely to realise what was going on). I'm sure she thoroughly cleaned the dehydrator afterwards, she may have even used it afterwards, and thought that was enough - but, if her husband suspected her (& he knew her better than any of us), put two and two together and challenged her, realising how she'd done it? That would have caused her to panic that a microscopic trace could be left on the appliance and seal her fate, which is why she dumped it in such a rush, and in a careless manner, too (they would know she'd been there through phone tracing, CCTV, etc). I don't think she'd thought that through until he scared her, because it's the only part not carefully planned, but her knee-jerk reaction (immediately dumping it and not having a decent explanation) implies that he was right. Scary, really...

This woman is like Stephen King's "Misery" on steroids! 😏

@@desres2281 that's the first thing I thought when I saw her,Misery 2 the sequel

She did

Yes, she knew what she wanted to do, but she was not alert enough to judge her action plan to be unforgivably vile and transparent.

What do you think the motive would be?

@lf9341 money

Maybe she only half knew what she was doing. Maybe she wanted to make them ill, not dead, just as she (probably) did to her husband when he was hospitalised. Different batch of death caps may have different severity of effect. She may be an experienced forager. It I’d guess her experience of poisoning is more limited

Erin could take her time to tell the police where she bought those mushroom, mabbe next year, its only the world-deadliest mushroom that could kill all OZ.

Idk why everyone is focused on the mushrooms when the motive is clear. Instead of killing her children to get at the ex husband, she killed his loved ones.

If she found the store she says she brought the poisoned ones from.. how on earth is that going to clear her? they will just deny it and they wont be selling those mushrooms still months later and obviously she still doesn't have the packaging from the mushrooms or she could have just given the police that.

@@tanyabrown9839 Of course we know all that. If she were innocent, she would be trying to find the store that killed her loved ones. Innocent people would also want to stop the store from selling more deadly shrooms. We all know that she picked those mushrooms on purpose, and dried them herself, but a jury would almost certainly clear her if she actually found the store that supposedly sold them to her. I also think she poisoned her husband earlier so she could be the hero and nurse him back to health.

​@@tanyabrown9839why hasn't anybody else died from this so called shop

And smell, apparently. A possible reason for using the dehydrator.

If you pick them up properly, then there's no confusion because of the big stub on the bottom of the leg. Some people have picked them as gypsy mushrooms(Cortinarius caperatus) but they two totally different mushrooms. There's no way that experienced forager would have picked death caps by accident, unless she's having early dementia or something like that. You see them from far away and know what they are, if you've been mushroom hunting for ages.

If you forage mushrooms, the first ones you learn to identify are the ones that will kill you!

What if they were dried? Would it still be 1000% ?

@@colettebishop2173 Yes, every mushroom forager knows you don't eat the ones that are white underneath.

Also dehydration of edible mushrooms enhances their flavor and for poisonous ones increases their potency.

That seems the most likely explanation by far.

If you're telling the truth you have nothing to hide

Yes that’s damning!

I can also see the her being asked: did you deliberately cut your hair into the shape of a mushroom. Was it before or after you killed them all?

She did say …EXACTLY THAT .. she said she got scared because it was revealed. It was the mushrooms that took their lives and she did get rid of it.

as a non chef, i would.

​@@archeewatershave you ever made Beef Wellington

@@THE-id1byI only know what that is because of chef Ramsay lol

Who said they were chinese mushrooms? She said she got them from an asian (or Chinese) grocery story. Its assumed that most things would be of asian origin but most produce isn't considered ethnic

chinese mushroom is very overpowering. Beef wellington uses western mushroom which is mostly flavorless

Smart man right here

to be fair the kids could be playing a fantasy game. I think it is irrelevant to this case. She clearly wanted to kill anyone who could take custody of their children by using death cap mushrooms. Then she could have the kids and claim it was an accident

That's some fast food for thought. Wow!

Amazing that he kept the photo on his phone for a year or more.

@@raia9have a look at your own phone and check when you last deleted pics off it. Prob never! Like most of us.

@@tom5051666 seriously who would do that and think they could get away with it, one would have to be half insane.. and if she did do it why didn't she get rid of the food dehydrator far earlier and only get rid of it after everyone was sick. There is a lot of strangeness in this whole story and I cant figure out if she's innocent or guilty (unlike the Dingo has my baby case in which I always believed they were innocent even after they were wrongly sent to jail).

She dumped the dehydrator,case closed fortunately

@@Jack-r2v9b Her explanation for doing so doesn't fool anybody either.

Surely even if she picked out the mushrooms for the kids the toxins would have spread all over the dish by that time?

Good point! And if the guests were deathly ill, why give the same food to her kids?

She could of made two beef Wellingtons, one for the people she wanted to kill/injure and the other was for her and children. She then just lied about scrapping off the mushrooms and being sick herself.

@@Joelswinger34we have no idea if she actually gave her kids leftovers, that is just hers and the kids story.

Then the "a dingo stole muh baby" happened. That's over 50 years ago when I was 16.

different time and different approach to police work as well.

yes good point, the poison from mushrooms would "leak out " so this is plausible explanation.

BINGO!

@@mrazik131 Not true. You have to consume the mushroom and a decent amount of them to have liver failure.

That’s not true. Just one mushroom can kill.

Absolutely, the juices would always come out unless the mushrooms were added really late, and then being dried, they would be unpalatable. With death caps, it would only require half of one to contaminate the dish, so this could have been pree coocked ready and added at the last minute.

@apbtainc, ooooh!!! Good thinking!!

That’s how kids ate it the next evening No sauce on it

Yes! That way if they tested the beef wellington, it would come out clear.

Wow buttons for the bw and deathcaps for the gravy

Good thinking. Your theory fits all the facts. If that's what really did happen, she messed up by saying she included the Asian mushrooms along with button mushrooms in the Beef Wellington. If forensic analysis of the remaining beef Wellington shows only button mushrooms, the police will know for sure that she lied and there's no innocent explanation for coming up with such a preposterous falsehood.

sorry not enough proof to convict of murder with that

​@@tankthearc9875they will get her eventually. For sure she's done it

@@tankthearc9875 thanks judge👍

​@@tankthearc9875 If she bought them dried in a packet, so dried that they sat in her cupboard for months then why would she need to put them in her drying machine ? It's looking like she picked them then dried them herself.

As an experienced mushroom forager, myself.....you don't accidentally buy deathcaps from an Asian grocery. That's a ridiculous story. Even if she doesn't remember the name of the grocery, she can't remember where the store was? She's clearly lying.

Plenty of motives. Resentment, money, revenge... How did her biological mother and father die? Did she or her children put the death cap mushrooms in the meal? If she did not do it then it's obvious that the next possible perpetrators are the kids. Particularly given evidence of the artwork on the wall in a previous rental home they lived in.

You would be interested in the case of Jessica Wongso, an Australian girl who poisoned her friend in Jakarta because she was jealous of her.

As an Aussie some here, a case hasn't intrigued me as much since the dingo got my baby case (which I always thought they were innocent, with this one though I just don't know)

To call it the wildest case is pretty far fetched.

​@kylieharrison3782 what artwork are you referring to?

No, not a serial killer, serial.killers have a cooling off period between murders. She's just a murderer, close to a family annihilator, but not quite. Horrible woman.

You need mental help or to go back to secondary level education or both. Regardless you have too much time on your hands. Please don't attempt to write fiction you are absolutely terrible at it.

Yes and that would make her a mass murderer or family annihilator I think 🤔

She claimed she got them in the Mount Waverley area which is much closer to Melbourne and conveniently has lots of Asian stores.

Stop thinking independently. Go along with the majority party line.

Exactly! And then she says she fed the leftover beef Wellington to her kids the next day for either lunch or dinner. That doesn’t make any sense. Wasn’t that after the in-laws had been hospitalised?

@@SKY031 OK, that is true. I was wrong. But they went the day after and she went a day after they did, not the same time. So another red flag. Poison works the same way in everyone.

sold in a grocery store she doesn't remember the name or location of apparently. The name, ok maybe you forget, but there's no fucking way she forgets the location so bad, she can't deduce which Asian supermarket it was... Like how many are there in that area? Pull up a list of them, show her the addresses and say which one was it? If she can't remember that, there's something seriously wrong with her memory. Just pull up her GPS data from her phone. Im sure the police obviously already know all this, its just frustrating not having any details of their investigation.

It's also true that innocent people change their narrative to suit what they're being told by the police (even when the police are lying). Memory is not "Fixed" it is reconstructed with each telling. An interrogator who doesn't understand this (ie most police) can get someone to re-write their memory - without realising it. For a gold example of this phenomenon look at the "mousetrap" experiment where kids who have never had their fingers caught in a mousetrap explain in detail how it happened after just a few careful formed question sessions. This has frightening implications for law enforcement, especially if you are the suspect.

So true.

Oh she's so guilty... they're just waiting to have enough evidence to nail her.

@HardCandy-fd4vz There is evidence and her story changed. Plus, if the mushrooms were bought at an Asian grocery as she claimed many more people would have gotten sick and died and there'd be warnings posted. Investigation still pending.
